A brief history
Jana Wilkes is a brand strategist and a straight-shooting one at that. In a previous life, Jana worked as an economist and market researcher for the Australian Federal Government. Ever wish you knew more about the introduction of ethanol to Australia? Jana can enlighten you. This gave Jana a real thirst for insights and understanding her clients’ why. In fact Jana’s life motto (borrowed from master acting coach, Howard Fine), is ‘Start with why - the how takes care of itself!’ Jana’s quest for why led her to study everything from a Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing and Management to courses on Writing for Television and Strategic Planning Principles. With more than two decades under her belt at international blue chip branding agencies, Jana has led hundreds of campaigns for well-known, multifaceted brands. A master negotiator, Jana likes to make things happen. When told ‘no’, she’ll find a way - especially if it’s in the interests of her clients. Jana’s motto, instilled by her stepfather is, Where there’s a will, there’s a way. For instance, there’s the time she convinced 52 commuters to conduct the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) at Southern Cross Station. (Jana doesn’t like to brag, but we can tell you this campaign trended number 1 on Twitter, gained national news coverage and exceeded MSO season ticket sales by 110% - no small feat). Jana wishes her tenacity for excellent client outcomes transferred to her piano and ukulele learning abilities (spoiler alert: it hasn’t). Jana is proud as punch to work with clients from a range of industries such as medical, health, finance, aged care, wellness, consumer products, technology, real estate, and design. She launched her own branding agency in 2018, bringing together fellow ex-agency people who share the same passions and values that she does. Her agency’s edge? Prosperiam offers clients all the unique ideas, insights and excellence you’d expect from a large branding agency, with the flexibility and thriftiness of a small business. When she’s not busy helping her wonderful clients, Jana can be found being a loving step-mum, hanging with her dogs Ziggy Stardust Spoodle and Frankie Ann Poo, cooking up a storm, or throwing herself headfirst into the arts.
